Moosteak in Northampton

Moosteak? More Like a Mistake When you’re paying top-tier prices, you expect a premium experience: great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Unfortunately, Moosteak fell short on all counts. Despite being the only people in the restaurant, the service was inattentive, and the steak I ordered came out overcooked, lacking the proper searing that’s a basic expectation from any respectable steakhouse. To make matters worse, we were denied tap water. Overall, it was an frustrating experience and certainly not worth the hype or the price.

Fantastic experience with an amazing atmosphere and wonderful tasting food. We have already booked to come back.

Great restaurant the food was excellent and the plating was very neat and presented very well the vegetables were cooked perfectly and tasted great

Lovely place to go and have a dinner. Really enjoyed the food and the customer service was impeccable. Really recommend it.

Most beautiful lobster and succulent Fillet Mignon, didn’t even need the steak knife, melted like butter! I’m a chef myself and couldn’t fault a thing, we are seafood and steak lovers. Highly recommend!

Fantastic food..Fantastic service...would 100% recommend...the staff are brilliant...food was so tasty and presented beautifully.. we will definitely be visiting again xx

Steaks were cooked to perfection. Lovely restaurant with great service.

I ordered the sirloin steak with peppercorn sauce and Mac n cheese. Best steak I’ve ever had. Will definitely be coming back

What a gem! Great atmosphere and service and really tasty burgers very well presented. Shaful really looked after us. Will definitely be back.

Dined here for the first time this evening and we will definitely be back! Between us, we had filet mignon and Rib eye steaks, and it was all impeccable, the staff were lovely and we were happy to go with their recommendations on how well each steak was cooked, which was perfect for each cut. It is also a nice touch that it is 'Bring your own booze', so you can take your favourite tipple! Overall the restaurant is lovely and modern, the staff friendly and professional, and the food and service outstanding!

Visited this place after hearing they won a award for the best restaurant in Northampton and how good the steak was as I'm very picky on how my meat is cooked. The staff were friendly and more importantly the steak was cooked to perfection. Couldn't recommend it enough a real hidden gem in the heart of Northampton. Definitely will be booking again for our next special occasion

Celebrated my dad’s birthday at Moosteak. The service was very good, the two gentleman that tended to us were very kind and professional. The food however wasn’t the best. The lollipop chicken is actually tiny pieces of chicken smothered in a sauce, was very salty, the prawns were practically empty and too charred, the seasonal veg was frozen mixed veg from the bag, the Seabass was a very thin piece of fish. Mac n cheese was lacking. Also there was about a half hour wait between starters and mains. Food wise, they could improve in a lot of areas. But front of house did give us a complimentary happy birthday cheesecake which was very thoughtful. The good service saved the night.

Amazing food and service. Fantastic menu selection. Good atmosphere too and good choice of music. Highly recommend!

Went here with the family a few weeks back, was looking for something new and a bit different. We definitely found it here with the food as the food and particularly the flavours were out of this world, as was the service. They couldn't do enough for you and prices were also reasonable. My kids lived it and have found a new place as a family to go.

Very intimate restaurant with amazing food. Honestly the best food I've had in Northampton. The staff were great too, very personable and professional

Lack of wine ruined the experience to match the meat.

Absolutely brilliant place! Service is awesome and I couldn't recommend the mixed sharer and Brazillian chicken coconut curry enough...6 stars if i could.

We had a really enjoyable week meal here this evening. Between us we had a range of food and everyone loved it. The service was awesome, we received advice how best to have our steaks cooked and the waiters were more than happy to help those who had dietary requirements! Thank you so much for a fantastic meal would fully recommend to all!

Came here for a date, one of the best places I have eaten in Northampton, service presentation and taste was all great, Definitely coming again

The service was amazing, very attentive. Lovely food and we would definitely come back. the presentation was really good.

Niche little restaurant tucked in on the Welly rd with friendly staff and a great menu . Starters and mains was delicious we took in our own drinks and it was no issue. The food is reasonably priced and good sized portions. I’d definitely pre book a table ect …..

Amazing staff, extremely friendly and excellent food. Highly recommend, staff very accommodating to alcohol even though they do not provide, you can bring your own and they make sure it is chilled and provide glasses. Excellent service.

Our party of 12 got a last minute reservation at moo steak. Staff were so attentive, food was delicious and our party size didn’t faze them on a busy Saturday evening. Thank you ☺️

Place is cosy with nice atmosphere. Staff is great and food tasty. They don't serve alcoholic drinks but you can bring your own and they'll provide you with glasses. Parking might me challenging in the area. Can recommend the place.

Great restaurant!! We went tonight. The food was excellent. The staff so attentive. Highly recommended.

First time visiting after reading many positive reviews online and the Trip Advisor 2023 award. We booked a table for 4 for a birthday celebration. On arrival we were shown to our table and after a short while we had to ask for some menus, which was a bit odd as the restaurant wasn’t full and there were plenty of waiters… just waiting around. We ordered our soft drinks, which also took a bit of a while to arrive. We also brought our own alcohol with us. We all ordered ribeye, which came out in good time and was cooked well. The cut of meat was ok, but I’ve had much better and 2 out of the 4 steaks had rather large bits of gristle running through them, so not the best. We asked for some vinegar to go with our chips and we were presented with balsamic vinegar in a small dish and no spoon. Not that balsamic vinegar even goes with chips but hey? The service overall was very disjointed and almost as if this was the first time ever that the waiters had ever waited tables. After the main course we asked for a dessert menu but we were told that there is no dessert menu and we were given two choices (I honestly can’t remember what the choices were but I remember thinking it was very bland). We declined the dessert offerings which is rare for us who have a sweet tooth. Overall, not very impressed, based on the food and service we won’t be returning.

I went for my birthday for the platter I had spotted online. However, this was something they no longer did. Despite this they made a bespoke platter starter and main for 4 on the spot which was amazing. Burgers and steaks, sides and veg included. All tasted amazing and seasoned so well. Great birthday meal.

Had my 21st Birthday here. Great food and service

We went for dinner for my brother's 18th birthday on a Thursday night and we was the only table in there. On arrival it took a while to get our drinks order, and we ordered starters, tried ordering 1 of each starter apart from the mixed grill but was told (rather than advised) that the waiter did not know why we was doing that and advised us to order 2 mixed starters and 1 of everything, so ended up ordering more than we would have. After ordering starters it took a while for a drinks to come, and they didn't take our mains order for a long while after ordering the starters, so was sat with an empty table for a while. Even as we asked the other staff member if we could order with him, he said he couldn't do it so had to go in the back to ask the other waiter. There also was no cocktail glass for what my brother wanted to drink so they couldn't do that drink either. They also refuse to give you tap water, so you're forced into buying a £4.50 bottle of still water each time. The starters came and they were nice, apart from the prawns which were underwhelming. Mains took a long while to come too after the starters, and the food overall was tasty, won't be the best steak you've ever eaten but it was good food overall. My brother also ordered the Wagyu steak which was £100 for 11oz for reference, which was nice, but personally not sure if it's worth that but understand it's an expensive steak in general. The sauces for the steaks were muddled up too, which meant that we had to swap them from each plate, not a massive issue but just adds to the continuous mistakes. After clearing our mains they did give at least a bit of complementary cake for my brother, but after he finished this we were never asked again if we'd like anything else so was left waiting a while for the bill to come. Once the bill came the card machine did not work, after trying 5 different cards and restarting the wifi still no luck with the machine as the fault was clearly on their end. Which meant we were forced to go out and get cash from the Sainsbury's to pay. After paying the cash, the waiter had also written the wrong number on the bill and was meant to write £427 instead of £422, also bearing in mind there was a £40 service charge on the bill, he quickly asked for the £5 extra before we left, which given all the issues and the fact we already left £35 of the £40 service. The fact the food was good is what saved it, it seemed the restaurant lacked all the other basics otherwise, with the inability to pay by card and take food and drink orders quickly and given the prices they are charging you'd expect a much better atmosphere and service, especially as we were the only table in there.

Really lovely service, nice atmosphere as it was nice and cosy, and the food was really good!

Celebrated a friends birthday. Food was great. Excellent presentation and taste. Staff are friendly. Thank you!

Food and drinks were delicious. Service was great. Lovely, little restaurant to take your friend's and family too❤️

A really tasty meal, with pudding of course. Thoroughly recommends. Thank you very much. PS need a wheelbarrow to get back to my car now. 😂😂

Absolutely amazing food… steak was cooked to perfection! Staff was very pleasant and polite!! Highly recommend and will certainly return

I would have given more stars if they were available!!! Absolutely Amazing Food

The steaks are amazing, however, sadly our evening came close to being ruined by poor management. A normally brilliant restaurant is often undone on its busiest nights if not managed well and our Valentine's night meal at Moosteak is a perfect example. My wife and I arrived for our meal on the time we were offered, if not a few minutes early, but the restaurant was full with no sign of anyone being close to leaving and another couple before us standing, waiting for their table. The restaurant manager told us that they had had problems with customers arriving late and asked us to give them 15-20 minutes and our table would be ready. He pointed out a pub over the road that we could go to to wait and he'd call us when our table was ready. After over half an hour we'd finished our drinks and we were getting pretty hungry so we went back to the restaurant. All the tables were still full of the same diners, still eating, so we made our way to the bar area to find another two prospective diners who'd actually been sent to the same pub before us. After some time standing within the bar area, a family at the large table at the back of the restaurant left and we and the other couple were seated together at that table to drink our BYOB bottles of wine (we did enjoy the company of that couple while we were waiting though - extra star for their company). Eventually(!), a table became free and the other couple moved to the now available table and our planned evening together was finally able to start, however this was over an hour after the time we'd originally been offered to book and a long time of feeling uncomfortable through hunger - at no point were we offered olives or other nibbles at our shared table while we were waiting, and it took at least two reminders to the waiting staff to remove the empty wine bottle left by the other couple. We don't like limited "special" menus and when booking for 'special days' we normally check to ensure that our intended restaurant will not be offering such. Unfortunately we (I) did not do that this time so we were frustrated to only be offered a Valentine's Menu, with a limited offering. We made our selection, but not what we'd normally hope to choose when dining at a steak restaurant, plus an extra side of chips. This is where the restaurant went some way to redemption. The food was, without any shadow of doubt, delicious! ...well, for me anyway because I really enjoyed the majority seafood starter; my wife, not quite so much, but the main course steaks were quite excellent. Being one of the last bookings of the night, we were not rushed through our meal (though obviously neither were the late arrivals and overstaying earlier seatings - which is where the restaurant managers went wrong for everyone ...themselves included). At the end of the night, and due to our compromised experience and prolonged discomfort, we'd half expected to be offered a small token of compensation. Something along the lines of being let off the corkage charge for drinking our BYOB bottle of wine or the extra side we'd ordered, but not at all. We were charged full price despite not being seated until a full hour after our booking time, which kind of rubbed everything bad in, like salt to a wound. This is key learning for the managers - all could have been avoided if the managers had set a time limit on how long each booking was allocated at each table and then requiring the table be returned at a certain set time even if the customers arrived late - after all it is what a majority of other better managed restaurants do ...otherwise, simply not expecting a second seating. We are left in two minds whether we shall return. We remain somewhat scalded by our experience at Moosteak, and there are many other excellent restaurants in Northampton. What we can say with certainty is that we SHALL NOT be returning on another 'special day' in the calendar. The managers simply need to learn to not only manage their restaurant, but manage their customers too.

It is truly unique dining experience and great food.

Had booked a table for me and my boys 16 and 14 arrived at the restaurant only to be told, We've been trying to call you as the restaurant is full please wait 5 mins, we will call you. I write this review because I absolutely hate lies 1, They never tried to call me 2, When they did call it was 35 mins later not 5 as told. luckily for me there was a wonderful Med restaurant over the road that made a absolutely amazing streak. As I said if i wasn't lied to I would never have wrote this.

Really good. Recommended for an occasion

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Moo Steak, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. I ordered the fillet mignon, and from the first bite, I knew I was in for something extraordinary. The quality of the meat surpassed all expectations; it was tender, succulent, and bursting with flavor. What truly set Moo Steak apart, however, was not just the exceptional food but also the impeccable customer service. Shaful, our server, went above and beyond to ensure that my dining companion and I felt welcome and cared for throughout the meal. His attentiveness and warmth added an extra layer of enjoyment to an already fantastic meal. In conclusion, Moo Steak delivered on every front - from the exceptional quality of the food to the outstanding customer service. Without a doubt, it was the best steak I have ever had in my life. If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, look no further than Moo Steak.

Superburb meal again on Saturday night . Always great food and service . Steak was possible one of the best I have had. Looking forward to going back already.

My Husband and I ate here this evening and had the most fabulous meal. Starters were amazing and as for the steak, it was the best steak we have ever eaten. We both had the Wagyu and were not disappointed! Couldn’t fault anything. Great food and amazing service. Will definitely be back! Thanks for a great night. Macey and Josh!

Food was amazing. This is my new favourite place. Real fine dining. Everything was so flavourful, wasn't one thing I couldn't say didn't taste amazing. Presentation was a 10/10. Definetly going again.

Good service and good customer service thank you.

Great food and service, and the staff are topnotch 👌🏾

So good!! Everything what we ordered was an excellent and service at the highest level. Thank you:))

Enjoyed a lovely meal at Moosteak, great food and excellent service, the staff were very attentive and food was delicious.

Was dissapointed that the online menu had a much larger selection of food than the actual restaurant menu, ordered a sharer starter witch was rather dissapointing with half a burger each ,1 prawn and a strip of chicken. Then ordered 2 sirloin steak, presentation was beautiful but the steak was tough. I was not wishing for steak but then menu in restaurant did not show what id seen i wanted online, Very dissapointing

Amazing restaurant - great service and food - attention to detail. Place for food lovers

Great service, food and mocktails were excellent

Moosteak is my go to favourite dinning restaurant now. It’s my second time there and I was impressed. Fantastic menu,The food tastes delicious, excellent service and attention to customers preference was delivered 💯 I highly recommend.

The best burger 🍔 in town!!!Delicious food and great service!

Went for a birthday meal, lovely service and beautiful food, had dynamite shrimp for starters and rib eye steak for main, beautiful presentation liked the bourskin cheese on the steak, unusual, sauces were very tasty, would highly recommend

Really good quality meat ! Very tasty food and amazing service Will return

Iv ate all over the world, and ate at every ‘big’ steak house and paid triple what I paid here tonight. As a northerner iv never felt so looked after and my god as a self proclaimed steak lover by Far The best steak iv ever had in the UK! This place is a must! And to top it! BRING YOUR OWN BOOZE!!!

Visited this place with a few friends. Not really a steak person usually but ordered the filet mignon with a side of creamy mash on the owner’s recommendation. Was absolutely blown away by it! The most tender and succulent meat I have ever eaten, it was literally melting in my mouth. I previously didn’t get all the fuss around steak but having had the real deal at Moosteak I now know! Would recommend everyone to try this place, the food and atmosphere is superb and the owner provides such a warm welcome. Can’t wait to return to this gem of a restaurant.

Blackburn needs a Moosteak! Steak just how it is meant to be. T bone was to die for!!!

Fantastic place to eat and spend lovely time Steak is The Best. Our favourite place 👌 Thank you

Great place, great food, great service. I would highly recommend this restaurant.

Good steak best one I've Had good customer service. The lobster was okay but the steak is really good. Very well cooked. Will be visiting again. The starters were okay steak was the best..

Visited Northampton for a couple of days. We found Moosteak by chance while looking for a halal place to eat. The place is at the image of the reviews. I took the sirloin, it was very good, very tasty! Prices are very decent for this quality. Service is very nice too. Place is very clean! Thank you guys!

A 10/10 experience for me, had the fillet mignon and it was cooked perfect. The mix starter was excellent. Couldn't finish dessert so you will be leaving feeling full. If you want lobster it's best to ring ahead.

I found this place to have excellent halal steak at very reasonable prices. I recently moved to the UK and was on the lookout for a good halal steakhouse, and I found it here.

Food was beautifully cooked and the customer service was wonderful. Would definitely recommend the restaurant to others

Moo Steak House is my new go to steak spot. I've been there twice already and have another visit planned. It's a solid choice for a date night or a family dinner. The wagyu sliders were flavorful, and I appreciated the option to bring our own drinks to save some cash. The filet mignon was the highlight – perfectly cooked and delicious. Service was amazing, and the atmosphere is cozy. If you're into steaks, Moo Steak House is worth a visit. Going to go for the lobster next time heard its the best around, and fresh for a place mid england looking forward to next time.

Excellent steak dinner. Went to celebrate my daughter exam results and the management were kind enough to put congratulations balloons on our table, a very nice touch. The whole family enjoyed the meal and will be returning for sure.

Food was tasty and well priced. Always good to book a table in advance. Recommend this place. Will be coming here again.

Went there with quite a large party, food was great and they catered to us excellently, they handled 3 karen’s next to us very well and still provided good service, great food and peace and love ❤️

Amazing food with amazing service. Staff also dealt incredibly well with 3 the pretentious bints sat on the table next to us who were very rude and complained about everything you could think of obnoxiously loudly. Hope they choked & died on their steaks 💋 Props to the chef and lads who worked thru it. Recommend 👌🏻

Best steak house ever Must visit

Food was delicious, great service

We visited this restaurant on Sunday 2nd July. We had a brilliant meal. Staff were great and very attentive. Will certainly go again. Atmosphere was marked down slightly as we were there early, before the restaurant filled up.

Food was lovely, cooked to very high standard would recommend

Absolutely amazing service and food- highly recommend! They opened their doors and gave us a private dining experience on a day they are typically closed, with no extra cost - just because it was my birthday! Exceptional across the board - from their food to their aesthetic to their customer service!

Absolutely amazing food, staff are lovely. Best food we have had in Northampton

Fabulous food and excellent service - so lovely to spend an evening at Moosteak.

Came here for Christmas Lunch and the service was amazing. My only problem was that they didn’t offer their usual menu as I would of preferred that to the Christmas food.

I came in with a group of my friends the hospitality at the shop was amazing the staff was on point and sharp cannot name a single thing wrong about moosteak will defo be coming again

Best steakhouse in Northamptonshire, the steak was cooked perfectly and everything else was on point.

Amazingly delicious food. Steaks cooked to perfection!
